On the road again…
February 28, 2012
THE Pharmacy Guild’s The
Roadmap - The Strategic Direction
for Community Pharmacy website
(www.guild.org.au/roadmap) is
being relaunched this month, and
now comprises 45 ‘Program
Development Templates’ detailing
current and anticipated
community pharmacy programs
and services, and the practical
means for implementing them at
a national level.
The Roadmap was initially
launched in May 2010 with the
specific goal of producing a
document that would be a
meaningful, practical point of
reference to anyone involved in, or
with an interest in, the community
pharmacy sector.
It examines the current state of
community pharmacy in Australia
and provides a detailed, practical
plan for its future.
Conceived as a ‘living breathing
document’, The Roadmap website
allows the Guild to make updates
to ensure the resource remains
adaptable and relevant in the face
of changes in the Australian health
system. In keeping with this ideal,
the templates on the website are
reviewed periodically.
In the short time since it was
launched, diverse groups from
media to think tanks to health
researchers, have accessed The
Roadmap online.
The Guild’s vision for community
pharmacy is centred on an
enhanced role for the profession,
to deliver an increasing range of
health services at a national level
utilising the network of
community pharmacies.
This expanded role emphasises
community pharmacy’s
continuing status as a pivotal
member of the primary health
care team, in the midst of
evolution and change in the
Australian health system.
